More Than a Tweet: Trump Comes Through Big on Transgender Military Directive

August 28, 2017

by Terry Schilling

On Friday afternoon, President Donald Trump issued a memorandum to the Secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security directing them to reinstate a long-standing policy prohibiting individuals who identify as transgender from serving in the military. This policy, which served the world’s greatest military well for literally hundreds of years, was the law of the land prior to a politically motivated change made by the Obama administration just 14 months ago.

And now, thanks to President Trump, this ridiculous social experiment has been consigned to the dustbin of history — at least for now.

The memorandum also halted taxpayer funding of “sex reassignment” procedures for military personnel. The guidance marked the ratification of the policy change, which the President first announced via Twitter last month.

Today, we’re happy to see those words put into action. When it comes to our nation’s military, priority should always be given to what is best for combat readiness and morale, not political correctness or the latest ideological fad.

Thank you, President Trump, for doing the right thing even when #FakeNews opposes it. The American people are with you.

Good Job? The coward POTUS dodged the military because of bone spurs in his feet! These military officers actually qualified for service and have served their country. Bigotry is evil–it is not a “good job.”

Yes, the “president” who brags about molesting women and believes “good people” march with Nazis, now is using the brute force of government to discriminate against transgender. I will say his bigotry is pretty consistent! No wonder Schilling is thrilled.
